Then the test wouldn't have helped you out any, as it needs those
devices present. Those tests were what I used in debugging, I need to
build them up into some real test cases.

Hm, does this USB device actually work on your machine? Do you have the
usb-storage driver and the scsi stuff loaded? You need to have that
loaded for udev to be able to work.

You should see the device node created in /udev. But it should also
show up in sysfs too, and it doesn't seem like that is hapening, so udev
can't really work yet.

Thanks for putting up with some very rough code.

Hope this helps,
